B
It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and Maggie and I were returning from our walk through the woods. We were only a couple of blocks from home when I spotted a cellphone and credit card sitting on the road. We took them home. We find amazing things on the street. She looks upon it as a movable dinner. Chicken wings here and there.
I found another cellphone a few years back, too, and called a number in its phone book. I explained the situation to the guy who answered. He said it was his sister’s and that he"d swing by to pick it up, which he did.
And that was that. No verbal (口头的) thank-you, no written thank-you, no “here’s a box of chocolates” thank-you.
I didn’t have time to call anyone on my latest found cellphone. I was pouring myself coffee when it started to vibrate (颤动) and dance across the kitchen counter.
“Who’s this?” someone asked when I picked up.
“Who’s this?” I countered. “Sarah?”
She was taken aback until she realized her name was on the credit card I also had recovered. “Could you send it to me?” she asked.
She lives in Arlington, which is 2 miles from my house.
“Hmm, no,” I replied, adding that I thought she could come get them, and that if I wasn’t home, they would be in my mailbox.
A day later, when I was out for a run, someone retrieved them. But I got nothing. In this age of e-mail and cellphones, there’s really no excuse.
Years ago, I found something more precious than a $100 bill on the street: a driver’s license. I saw that its owner lived a couple of blocks from me, so I called him up. He asked whether I could slip the license through his front door.
“I guess I could,” I replied.
And that was that.

答案

61---65   DBCAC  

解析

本文主要是指出当今社会缺乏一种感谢别人的基本素质，丢了东西，不但不亲自到拾到者那儿去领取还要人家给送来，并且连感谢的话都没有。
61. D。         标题概括题。本文主要是指出当今社会缺乏一种感谢别人的基本素质，丢了东西，不但不亲自到拾到者那儿去领取还要人家给送来，并且连感谢的话都没有。选项A只是文章的表面内容；选项B和C是从问题的正面叙述而文章是从反面来进行叙述的。故答案选D。
62. B。         推理判断题。由文章第一段“She looks upon it as a movable dinner. Chicken wings here and there”可知，既然它把人仍在地上的鸡骨头看作是它的美餐，这说明Maggie应该是作者的一只宠物，如小狗。故答案选B。
63. C。         事实细节题。由文章第四段“I didn’t have time to call anyone on my latest found cellphone”可知，但是作者很忙，所以没有来得及打电话。故答案选C。
64. A。         词义猜测题。文章前面提到作者让失主前来认领，并且文后又提到作者并没有得到任何感谢之类的话，所以可以判断该词的意思是“取回”。故答案选A。
65. C。         作者意图推断题。由文章最后三段，尤其是最后一段，可以看出作者对于那个丢失驾照的人感到非常的失望和无可奈何。故答案选C。
